Hi, I am a UK citizen just returned from a holiday in Australia and I would like to apply for the one year Australian working holiday visa so I can go back and spend a more extended period of time there next year. I have a few queries surrounding the rules regarding work. In the UK I am working as a freelance translator, and I would like to know if it's ok for me to continue to work as a freelance translator during my year in Australia, rather than finding short term local jobs? I would be working for UK based translation agencies, and being paid in GBP into my UK bank account. From what I've read it seems like you don't have to have a job at all while you're there for the year, the visa just gives you the option to do this, although if you do get one you cannot stay in that job for more than 6 months. I'm therefore not sure if it's ok to continue to work as a freelancer while I'm over there, as it would be ongoing work, although not from an Australian company. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
